MrBallou:Literally Addicted: MrBallou: Private Catholic school, private bus company. You made the choice, dude. If he wants them to add enough buses to give him the service he wants, the price he pays will be higher.

No, the Catholic school board is not considered "private" in Ontario. It's a separate school board, but they still have to let in anyone who lives in the area who is eligible to attend (lots of non-Catholics attend the Catholic schools here).

I did not know that. Catholic schools here are funded and run by the church. Are religious schools in Canukistan not independent of the government? This socialism thing has ramifications I never considered.

Due to some politicking in the 1860's the Catholic school system is publicly funded. Other religious schools are not. At least this is the case in Ontario, it varies from province to province.

FLMountainMan:One of my friends in high school lived across the street, literally, from Lakewood High School in St. Pete. He (black) was bussed an hour each morning to Osceola High School because Osceola was too white. What a great system.
